Rockies’ Bettis’ sees outing cut short with triceps tightness

MARYVALE, Ariz. — Chad Bettis, one of the Rockies’ most promising pitching prospects, was removed from Sunday’s game against the Brewers after one inning with triceps tightness.

Bettis worked a scoreless fourth in relief of starter Alex White. He was scheduled to work three innings. He told The Post that he didn’t think the injury was serious. Bettis, a former star at Texas Tech, projects as a Double-A starter after going 12-5 with a 3.34 ERA for Modesto last season.

However, the Rockies’ front office has also hinted that he might be converted to a reliever, creating a quicker path to the big leagues.
